Enemy of the State
    Soros Gyorgy
The so-called spontaneous protests happening regarding the elections appear to have been instigated by Soros György, aka "George Soros" and his organization —

much like those he allegedly funded during the Ferguson riots via craigslist ads actively seeking "actors" paid $3500 to insight trouble.

Acts like renting thugs for Trump rallies, insighting riots, providing millions in dollars for troubles while the mainstream media stands around stupified in the presence of his shenanigans.

His diseminated propaganda is playing to the base instincts of a group already unhappy with the election results and who are believing the lies propagated by this man because they appear to be largely incapable of evaluating the facts and thinking things out for themselves.

IMHO Mr Soros needs to be captured and dealt with like the enemy of the state he is and his actions brought to a swift and decisive end.

Veterans Day
Today we observe the public holiday held on the anniversary of the end of World War I on November 11 — honoring veterans of the United States as well as the victims of all wars.

This observance was formerly known as Armistice Day, which it replaced in 1954.

Sour Grapes
Hillary LOST ... get over it    
There are reports of protests over the election of Donald Trump to the presidency of the United States. It would seem that they are diffuse and pretty rowdy.

In all this negative attitude adopted due to the fact that the clinton regime is pretty much at an end and a presidency her constituents cannot have themselves ...

It would seem that the sore losers are pretty doggone mouthy. Had she won I would have accepted it without demonstrating like these whiners are doing.

They will not change the outcome and the people have spoken. I'm fine with the dissent ... but this sounds more like rabble rousing to me.

Demonstrate right on you crybaby democrat wannabes seeking something for nothing in the vein of the democratic and progressive dole.

Your candidate lost the election.

Voting Considerations
Big government. I had thought Trump would be less of a source for it but it appears some of my cohorts disagree. One friend declines to vote for anyone this year saying all the candidates are undeserving of his vote.

I'm deferring until after work today to head to the polls. I rode by this morning and there were people draped all around the polling place with 25 minutes til time to open the polls.

Despite these infernal last minute trepidations ... all I know for sure is we don't need another Clinton white house or a Bush one either.

The trouble with Chelsea
Bradley Manning, the XY who would be XX genotype going by "Chelsea" whistleblower attempted suicide for the second time last month according to his attorneys.

The only details involve his coping skills with prison life resulting in an alleged 'fragile mental state' which may pretty much be summed up as an inability to accept the consequences of his actions.

It appears as though the 35 year sentence for espionage isn't going very well ... with judicial punishment for previous attempts to off himself and the posession of contraband such as books.

Bradley call me Chelsea Manning
It would seem that gender dysphoria is just a single facet of the screwed up individual Mr Manning is and has been. If you're unable to accept who you are it logically follows that tolerating what others find you to be will also be tolerated poorly.

It should be noted here that while a number of people find Mr Manning a 'hero' my humble opinion remains in the traitor range of human behavior and this failure to thrive is the result of betrayal of the uniform of the United States Army.

Suck it up and take what you have coming, Brad. The real world entails suffering the consequences of your actions.

It cannot be the fault of the world that you were born male and chose to betray your country while in the armed services. When you don the uniform the rules change. I suppose you found it all incongruent with the remainder of that fantasy which is your life.

Fell Back last night
fall back    
The clocks are all an hour earlier. I awoke an hour earlier than usual.

Time in it's usual fashion progresses onward with man's intervention periodically.

I'm curious as to how some of the states escape the time changes we must endure.

Sometimes I think these changes of the time each semester are good things. Other times I feel they intrude into my life.

The nights, already lengthening by the seasonal changes will now become abruptly longer with darkness ensuing earlier and earlier up to that point where the cycle repeats itself and we 'spring ahead'.

The Weather Snaps Again ...

We have had what appears to be the advent of cooler weather. The highs are much lower than they have been lately and the nights are siginificantly so.

My power bill has plummeted with all of the electronics keeping the place comfortable the heater has been necessary only very occasionally.

I'm glad that the conditions have cooled off somewhat and look forward to the continuing trend.

The holiday season is upon us and the weather was somewhat less conducive to that seasonal spirit than it is right now.

Robot Repairs
   NPN IR Phototransistor silicon
My repair kit for the Roomba came in. There are some transistors which will require placement on a circuit board to effect the fix.

Then I will know if I'm going continue using the device or whether I will have to replace it.

Going off line for a day or so while I leisurely pursue this project with a little preliminary reading. Reminds me of the good ole days when I soldered every day.

Doesn't appear too daunting ... but that was then and this is now !

Coming Down to the Wire
As we rapidly approach election day I'm afraid that my respect for the local press is pretty much gone. That home of yellow journalism, the state paper, has endorsed Hillary gd Clinton in their ignorance of all that crime and payola she represents.

The stupidity of CNN and their one sided similarity has pretty much got me calling them "the clinton news network" because that's pretty much what they are.

clintons call for illegals to vote fraudulently

I decline to ignore the facts and remain cautiously optimistic that perhaps Trump will win this thing. We could certainly use less crook and less career politician in the mix.

Illegals told to vote dem or face deportation

All of you out to free load on entitlements in exchange for your votes ... like the illegal aliens lined up in California for drivers licenses because the state is run by morons beware.

You have eyes upon you and the democrats and progressives can only help you so far in your quest to get something for nothing.

No one to mourn the departed
I once saw a funeral nearby with four rows of empty chairs set on green carpeting adjacent to a mound of earth and a casket. A minister in a black frock was standing there with a single young lady and there were no other persons visible.

It appeared to be in the middle of the service from the gestures and such and it gave me pause in our modern era of show and ceremony ...
solitary mourner
One of the saddest notions crossing my thoughts occasionally is the individual who dies with no one to mourn them.

Having no loved ones extant to the final duties marking the passing of the decedent is without question a somber thought.

It's easy to become estranged. Far too easy to become persona non gratis in that multitude of interactions comprising humanity. Too easy to earn contempt and that place outside the heart.

I can't decide whether it is worse to have no one or simply those who attend the final ceremonies out of disdain as is the case in some instances known to me.

All in all I think that we who have no one to mourn us might consider foregoing any funeary expense given the fact that funerals are for the living, not the deceased.

No one to mourn and no one to cry it's almost a shame that such a person still has to die.

In the sweet by and by perhaps it will all be different ... although, alas we may not all meet on that proverbial beautiful shore.

The day after Halloween

So there weren't any trick or treaters in my neighborhood last night. Shame too ... I was all prepared. So today I brought a boatload of candy into work for the minions to consume with great gusto.
 

candy bars


Better them than me.

Anyway, we are now fully into the holiday season — my favorite time of the year. The weather isn't really appropriate yet, but you can't have everything.

Happy Holidays !
